It's official. We're on our way to the Pacific, and Matty G has graciously elected to come and help us not die along the way. Scorching sun and smokey skies await us all.Our first stop? Brandon, Iowa! Where we celebrated Stephen Lindley's birthday in the most elegant of fashions. By visiting the world's (actually just Iowa's) largest frying pan. Yes indeed, this baby can fry up 528 eggs at once, thereby creating an omelet capable of engulfing the four smaller Plagiarists, or one larger keyboardist, in a warm yolky blanket. Happy birthday, Stephen. Hope Space Camp: Turkey is treating you well.
Matty G is a welcome edition to our pentagon of plagiarism. Mainly because he brought his Gameboy along. So far today he's captured a Squirtle, and Caterpie on a certain, unmentionable WB-television-show-themed game (no, not this one!), and crushed my little brother's high score on Tetris. It's going to be a good trip.
On our way south, we encountered a truck
filled with pigs. This, in itself was kind of funny. But all our lives were made better after Mike saw that the company was called TransPork. Bringing beef to America. This was strangely preceded by a chorus rendition of the National Anthem, complete with harmonies which...I think... was ironic...Tonight we play in Iowa City at the Picador. Doors are at 10.
We play with Capes of Lead and Illegal Smile.
Hope to see all of you Iowans out there!

I believe you meant to say Matty G is a welcome *addition.* If he is, in fact, a new edition to your so called "pentagon of plagiarism," well then, quite frankly, I expect a new album.
Best,
your unpaid copyeditor
